350 blocks challenge by Prairie Moon
July blocks made: 32
Total YTD blocks made: 334
- 1 Celestial Star - well, sort of. I turned the elephant 90 degrees wrong. This is the second time I have made the same mistake. Isn't that a sign that you are crazy?
I keep forgetting that the block needs to be turned so as to align with matching background fabrics. Can you see the mistake? I love the secondary pattern happening in the backgrounds!
Can I just add that the elephant applique' really is a fantastic way to avoid getting all of those twelve points in the center to come together perfectly? I actually cut the wedges off in the middle because ithey are covered.
- 4 scissor blocks
- 2 Camp Curtains
- 1 Crazy Quilty Lady quilt top assembly
- 1 Black n White flower quilt top assembly (I will get a photo when it returns from the quilter.)
- 4 Dollar Building Blocks - Month 2 stars
- 12 spring mystery hexie flower blocks
- 4 spring mystery applique' blocks
- 1 Stashbee exchange block
- 2 Exchange blocks (star and a bear paw)
Zoom - Yay!
I was finally available when Chooky chose to zoom. I nearly finished the 2nd quarter panel of my Laundry Basket Mystery applique' while enjoying a nice visit. It is so wonderful to have actually met several of these wonderful ladies in person when I visited Australia in April.
Attendees were from Australia, New Zealand, Norway, the U.S.A., and Canada. We have another friend that joins us from Germany, but I must have missed her.
July Progress.
The yellow shows every project that I actually made some progress on in July. I had 2 complete finishes and two tops done. Yay! This means I can start new projects soon!
I have eleven total finishes for the year, two of which were UFOs/WIPs and 9 were Newfos. A Newfo is a new start for 2023.
I am hopeful to complete 6 more this year. Two are at the quilters which will leave me with only 4 to complete my goal.
